Death
On
September 2, 1970, Canned Heat was scheduled to leave for Germany to
begin a European tour. Partly due to the inconveniences preventing him
from spending time outdoors, Wilson despised touring and travelling by
plane. He often missed flights and the band would fly without him while
he caught a later flight. When he missed his September 2 flight, this did not raise any alarms, and Bob Hite
assumed he was doing laundry to prepare for the tour. On September 3,
1970, Wilson was found dead in his sleeping bag on the hillside behind
Hite's Topanga Canyon home where he often slept. He was 27 years old. An autopsy identified his manner and cause of death as accidental acute barbiturate intoxication.
Although his death is sometimes reported as a suicide, this is not
clearly established as he left no note, and there were four pills left
in his pants found next to his body.
Wilson's death came fourteen months after the death of Brian Jones, just two weeks before the death of Jimi Hendrix, four weeks before the death of Janis Joplin, and ten months before the death of Jim Morrison, four artists who also died at the same age.
Wilson was cremated, and on September 13, 1970, a memorial service was
held at Menotomy Rocks Park in his hometown of Arlington. The service
was led by Reverend Wilbur Canaday who said, "We are using the sky as a
roof, and the ground as a floor, because he himself used nature’s great
wonders as his home.” Wilson's ashes were later scattered in Sequoia National Park amongst the redwoods he deeply loved.

Começou a sua carreira influenciado pelos Beatles mas, ao assistir um espetáculo de Albert Collins, resolveu seguir o caminho dos blues.

Algumas das suas músicas foram regravadas por artistas como Eric Clapton (Bad Influence) e Albert Collins (Phone Booth).
Rory Gallagher (Ballyshannon, 2 de março de 1948 – Londres, 14 de junho de 1995) foi um multi-instrumentista e compositor irlandês. Foi considerado o 57º melhor guitarrista de todos os tempos pela revista norte-americana Rolling Stone.
Nascido em Ballyshannon, County Donegal e criado em Cork, Gallagher gravou álbuns a solo nos anos 70 e 80, depois de formar a banda Taste, no final dos anos 60. Os seus álbuns venderam mais de 30 milhões de cópias em todo o mundo.
Gallagher recebeu um transplante de fígado em 1995, mas morreu de complicações decorrentes do mesmo, nesse ano, em Londres, aos 47 anos de idade.
Chester Arthur Burnett (White Station, 10 de junho de 1910 - Hines, 10 de janeiro de 1976), mais conhecido como Howlin' Wolf foi um importante cantor, compositor e guitarrista de blues. Com uma voz rouca e alta e um físico avantajado, Wolf é um dos mais significativos cantores de blues clássico de Chicago.
O seu estilo, ligeiramente tímido, contrastava com as menos cruas mas
ainda assim poderosas apresentações de seu astro contemporâneo, Muddy Waters.
Several notable blues guitarists have had a significant influence on Vaughan's playing style, including the "Three Kings" (Albert, Freddie, and B.B. King) and Johnny "Guitar" Watson.
Christopher Anton Rea, mais conhecido como Chris Rea (Middlesbrough, 4 de março de 1951) é um cantor da Inglaterra que vendeu mais de 30 milhões de cópias de discos em todo o mundo.

for the Summer, Julia, Auberge e Road to Hell. A canção que era conhecida
como Fool (If You Think It's Over) faz parte da banda sonora
internacional da novela Sinal de Alerta, I Can Hear Your Heartbeat da novela Eu Prometo, Let's Dance da novela Cambalacho, Loving You Again da novela Sassaricando e Driving Home From Christmas é outro dos seus sucessos.
